Book Reviews of Overcoming Thyroid Disorders
Book Review: full of knowledge, easy to read...
Summary: 5 Stars
Dr Brownstein's book is terrific. the double spaced pages are easier to read. This books does an excellent job of giving you enough information to present your case to your doctor while asking for further testing. We knew enough that he finally said, "I don't have a problem with more/better testing." You would think doctors would be looking for answers to help their patients get well, but most just take their standardized answers, remind you that you are getting older, and give you more meds to throw at the symptoms. Dr. Brownstein gives all of the research and referance data for the medical professionals who want to have more knowledge as well as vitamins and minerals you can get for yourself that will help. It makes connections between what many would believe to be unrelated symptoms to see your body as one whole unit of life. A repeated saying in book ...doctors need to remember they are "treating a person, not a blood test."Book Review: Great book for getting your
Summary: 5 Stars
Dr. Brownstein offers an easy to understand book about how to overcome one of the most common health issues - thyroid problems. He addresses hypothyroid, hyperthyroid and Chronic Fatigue / Fibromyalgia. I was thrilled to see that he addressed the issue of poor converters of T4 to T3, importance of good thyroid supporting nutrients, diet and detoxification. Most doctors will just throw Synthroid at you and call it good without treating the underlying cause. He refers to the importance of iodine and that is covered in his other book "Iodine: Why you need it, Why you can't live without it." That is also an excellent book. All therapies mentioned can be performed by a Holistic Doctor, Alternative Medicine Doctor or Naturopathic Medical doctor. [...]Book Review: life changing health advice
Summary: 5 Stars
When I ordered this book, I had been diagnosed but not treated accurately. The book gave me the information I needed to take to the doctor. I dismissed the endocrinologist (the last of three)who had put me in the money making machine of inefficiency as regards resolving my health issues(but which was very efficient for making the money they desired)and went to the internist who has the ability to listen. Wow. I now feel great since the the internist cooperated in making changes according to the recommendations Brownstein writes on the meds, diet, et al., and have high energy. GET the book!Get someone who will listen to you. I went to the internist having outlined the book in the appropriate areas. Good communication is the key.Book Review: A MUST for Thyroid Patients!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a practicing physician and someone new to the "alternative" world of medicine, Dr. Brownstein's book was indeed helpful. My wife has Hashimoto's and the detail and references in this book have helped me to guide her therapy. Easy to read but detailed, this book supplements Richard Shames' "Thyroid Power: 10 Steps to Total Health" as an excellent addition to any thyroid patient's reference library!Book Review: Must Read!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a must read for everyone. Even if you think you don't suffer from thyroid disorders, you need to read this book. In an age when so-called 'health' insurance companies are in control and doctors have their eyes on the money instead of the patient, you have to be your own advocate! Don't read if you struggle with hypochondrism but everyone else needs to read it and direct their own health!
